I have the Tanabe Strut Tower Bar in my 08 FIT and I noted a difference in HARD cornering with it installed. When I installed it I lifted the car like instructed and when the time came to attach the bar to the installed mounts I started with the left mount and finger tightened the bolt. I then adjusted the other end of the bar to be a little past where the mount hole lined up. To line up the holes I simply put some bend on the bar and popped the bolt through when I was lined up. That way the strut bar was pushing outwards with more force when it was fully installed.
When you corner hard the outside front wheel and strut is pushed up as the load of the car increases. This should to some extent push the inside wheel down that is being unloaded due to the turn if the bar has plenty of outward tension on it.
Hope that helps some. Even if the bar doesn't do much it looks bitchin' when you pop the hood =).
